The World's Easiest Basic Enchilada Sauce
By: Pot Scrubber
May 26, 2005
With only two pre-purchased products this makes a wonderful sauce. I have made sauces from scratch that weren't as good as this. Pour over purchased frozen enchiladas or burritos (or your own homemade)top with cheese and bake.Instant dinner.
4 cups
Ingredients
-
1 (15 ounce) can Hormel chili without beans (NO OTHER BRAND)
- 1 (16 ounce) jar mild Pace Picante Sauce (NO OTHER BRAND, and don't confuse Pace salsa with Pace picante)
Directions
1
Combine the two.2
You're finished!3
Pour over purchased frozen enchiladas or burritos (or your own homemade)and top with cheese.4
Bake at 350 til heated through.5
Tell everyone at the table you have spent years perfecting this complicated sauce.6
If your kids don't like "those icky green pepper things and onions" simply puree the Pace picante in a blender then add to the Hormel chili. They will never know and it also makes for a smoother texture. Additionally, I have used Hormel 99% Fat Free Turkey Chili with excellent results. Then- your enchilada sauce is almost totally fat free. Can't beat that!

Looked too easy to be true. It's definitely easy. But it tastes too much like, grin, chili.

We really enjoyed this sauce!!!!!!!!! Was starting to worry that I wouldn't have enough for my enchiladas, cuz we were eating it out of the pan with tortilla chips!!! It made for a great dip, too!

I just had to try this because it seemed to good to be true. But sure enough, this blends together into a good thick sauce that tastes better than "homemade". I used this as the sauce over Ground Beef and Texas Bean Enchiladas.
